Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A captivating glimpse of Britain then and now, seen from behind the steering wheel.In 1951, the Festival of Britain commissioned a series of short guides they dubbed handbooks for the explorer. Their aim was to encourage readers to venture out beyond the capital and on to the roads and the by-roads to see Britain as a living country. Yet these thirteen guides did more than celebrate the rural splendour of this island nation: they also made much of Britains industrial power and mid-century ambition her thirst for new technologies, pride in manufacturing and passion for exciting new ways to travel by road, air and sea.Armed with these About Britain guides, historian Tim Cole takes to the roads to find out what has changed and what has remained the same over the 70 years since they were first published. From Oban to Torquay, Caernarvon to Cambridge, he explores the visible changes to our landscape, and the more subtle social and cultural shifts that lie beneath. In a starkly different era where travel has been transformed by the pandemic and many are journeying closer to home, About Britain is a warm and timely meditation on our changing relationship with the landscape, industry and transport. As he looks out on vineyards and apple orchards, power stations and slate mines, vast greenhouses and fulfilment centres for online goods, Cole provides an enchanting glimpse of twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain as seen from the drivers seat.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A charming new travelogue retracing the thirteen original routes of the 1951 Festival of Britain guides 'About Britain'About Britain is an entirely fresh approach to travel writing. In 1951, the Festival of Britain published a series of thirteen short guides that they dubbed 'handbooks for the explorer'. Their aim was to get people on 'the roads and the by-roads' to see Britain as a 'living country'. Armed with these guid Elektronisches Buch, Tim Cole takes to the roads again to find out what looks the same and what looks different from that moment when Britain's growing car-owning population set out in 1951. The result is a book that combines travelogue and reflections on our changing relationship with the car with a broader social, cultural and landscape history of post-war Britain.The book is structured around the thirteen original itineraries, taking in all corners of the UK: from Oban to Caernarvon to Canterbury. Revisiting these places a lifetime (70 years) after the original 'sensible explorers' provides a chance to ask what has changed and what remains the same - what now grows in the hedgerows along our British roads and which industries dominate the towns along the way Which places have fared better during the last century, and which have fared worse Sustainability, industry, travel, nature, motoring - all of these things are considered as we follow the Festival of Britain's original routes. The book also contains a Prologue, 'About Britain 1951-2021' and Epilogue, 'Heading Home', providing a delightfully written and wonderfully retro look at our own culture and heritage, packaged to recall the guides as they first appeared.
